Amilcar Cabral

1924-1973

"I
should just like to make one last point about solidarity between the
international working class movement and our national liberation
struggle. There are two alternatives: either we admit that there really
is a struggle against imperialism which interests everybody, or we deny
it. If, as would seem from all the evidence, imperialism exists and is
trying simultaneously to dominate the working class in all the advanced
countries and smother the national liberation movements in all the
underdeveloped countries, then there is only one enemy against whom we
are fighting. If we are fighting together, then I think the main aspect
of our solidarity is extremely simple: it is to fight."
